All registered UC Davis students are automatically enrolled in the campus sponsored UC Davis Student Health Insurance Plan (UC SHIP). If you have comparable insurance and do not want to be enrolled in UC SHIP, you must apply for a UC SHIP waiver by the date specified for your school.

If your registration status changes from that of a registered student, it may impact your enrollment in, and eligibility for, Davis SHIP coverage.
Select the appropriate status change to see how it will impact your Davis SHIP coverage:

Voluntary Enrollment in Davis SHIP
Students covered by Davis SHIP who go on PELP, Filing Fee, or who have graduated may elect to enroll in Voluntary Davis SHIP coverage.

Undergraduate, graduate and professional students who are enrolled in Davis SHIP have the option to enroll eligible dependents in a voluntary plan. The plan provides medical insurance and the option to purchase dental/vision benefits.

Unless you are in the Working Professional MBA Program you are required to have health insurance. To help you meet the Health Insurance Requirement, UC Davis automatically enrolls all registered students in the UC Student Health Insurance Plan (UC SHIP) (If you are a medical student your health insurance is provided through the School of Medicine).

If you want to be enrolled in UC SHIP, you are automatically enrolled — no action is required.

If you have comparable insurance and do not want to be enrolled in UC SHIP, you must apply for a UC SHIP waiver by the date specified for your school. The services at Student Health and Counseling Services are available to all students, even if you waive UC SHIP.

Fees for UC SHIP coverage are charged to your student account each term along with your registration fees. UC SHIP benefits, costs, and dates of coverage are updated every June for the coming year.
